Getting ready or summer

Ijust got my summer wheels and tires put on still need to clean it up after the winter. I have posted a few things in the past and had many questions for everyone and all on this site are helpfull.
So i wanted to post some pictures and get some feedback on any modificatins. I do have a velos tune that i installed this winter, it is great and i highly recommend the mod. I also found a guy in Wisconsin to do some coding. So now I am lookin to do some more with this great truck.

Truck looks great. Change the side gill to black and the reflector will definitely help

Heres an Idea for you.....
here are NJ bAses Group of X5's


Black & White one is ..on Kw, Luxx AE's,Side markers, and exhaust...Ess Tune


Lowering it will make the Car stick get the aggressive look......


here is a video of what your SAV can look like lowered and with AE's....

looks good man, lux v3 is the way to go for angels. Or if you really want wait for a LED retrofit kit for the 13 headlights. Black out those side markers, an exhaust and you should be set. theres a ton of other stuff you can do just depends how much you want to spend

Our White X5m here..just went all out he was gng to get the ADV1...but decided to extend his $$ to different options...


he end up doing,Eisenmann,Ess Tune , Kw Coils, Spacers in 1 week.....2 weeks later did > Wheels, cosmetic enhancement ,grills,side markers,emblems, reflectors and AE's.. this was all done in 1.5months....lol....to me,it would take about 1 yr....lol.....but yes its what you want to spend and how you want to make your X look.....

Im Sure Danno will chime here at some point as he seen "Invcble" X5M today....at CnC NJ

appreciate the ideas. I think i like the idea of lowering a bit and spacers.
I need to find a shop by me that can do the work. Those trucks in the video are nice.

Yeah Phipsibear is right kw v3 to lower it, do not use the H&r springs. I went with dinan and it was perfect for what I wanted. I have no idea when the retrofit kits comes out. I got my side markers from Nate@IND, he'll hook you up

I ordered the black reflectors for the front and rear and the side grilles from Nate@IND and received them in 3 days. Install was simple and want to thank all the people on this forum for their help the dental floss was perfect

Once the rain leaves will post some pictures it does finish the look.
